STEM Education and 21st Century Skills

21st Century skills integrate mastery of traditional skills in English, Maths, Science, ICT and Finance, with the skills of collaboration, communication and problem-solving. We believe our students must develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, creativity, communication and collaboration skills, as it is these competencies that help us approach complex problems that face the world. Finally, to thrive in our changing environment we believe we must instil the character qualities of curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability, leadership and social and cultural awareness.
